help with stunts

[lineman74]

Hey everyone I need help with the watcher characters using stunts. I get a hero player spends a plot point, but what to the watcher use. Thanks for the help

Watcher characters can use a d6 doom to create a specialty stunt or resource.
We never confirmed if that also goes for power stunts.

okay thanks. Some of the watcher characters in civil war have the ability to step up stunts, so I just want to make sure what I need to do. Again thanks for the quick response.

Actually watchers get to grab whatever die they want to from the Doom Pool as a stunt like that I thought... if it's a D12 you have to give the heroes an experience point to boot.

After a die is used from the pool in this way it's taken out, that's my understanding of things.

Just confirmed that all stunts work the same, so all Watcher stunts are done with a d6 doom spend.

To clarify, a Watcher makes stunts (and resources) for his characters just like a player does for theirs, except he uses d6 from the doom pool to do it instead of a PP.

What I am thinking of is on OM16: Add a die to a dice pool.

Watcher can do that whenever he wants, and I always figured those were the watcher's version of stunts (things that happen as the action flows) while resources get that d6 to pp conversion.

I believe you only give xp if the d12 is spent. If you give the player a PP, you can keep it into the pool and he doesn't get xp.

So the watcher spends a d6 to add a d8 to his roll?

Thanks,

Yes, this is correct.
